Easy to setup and very quiet

Arrived in perfect condition. After connecting battery and filling with oil and gas, cranked using remote start on the first try. Very quiet! Much much quieter than our 11.5kw Westinghouse generator. Carry handle is easy to use. Looking forward to trying it out on our first RV trip next week

Great Customer Service and Good product

My first IGen generator had a recall on the unit and was sent a new generator which did not start on gas. Customer service was very helpful and was able to get me a new one quickly which has been working well. Prior to the recall unit the generator was working well and was used on several camping trips this year. The lighter weight is nice without sacrificing quality. Very easy set-up and I especially like the ability to start the unit with the key fob from the trailer without having to go to the unit when needing to run the microwave for a short period. The unit is quieter than most generators. I picked this unit for the portability and ability to wheel it to a given location and it has not disappointed.

Great Directions

I bought the iGen 4500DF a few weeks ago and just got around to set up and testing. Hurricane season starts next month. The directions were very easy to follow and start up was a breeze. I never had a generator before and was a little skeptical, but the simple and easy to follow instructions made it a snap. I'm almost looking forward to a power outage knowing it will be easy to set up and go.

Westinghouse, a trusted name since I was a kid.

I purchased this inverter/generator to primarily power the AC on my trailer while dry camping however the inverter allows me to power my other electronics. I've only had it a few days, but I have been running it to get through the break in period as I will be leaving on a trip shortly. I have been through the instruction manual and found it easy to understand. It has remote start and the pairing instructions were simple. It also came with a trickle charger, for the starting battery, while in storage. I wasn't expecting it with the purchase, I called to confirm it's function as I didn't find an explanation in the manual or missed it. Very pleased with the product and service thus far.

Quiet & Dual Fuel!!

I've been wanting a dual fuel generator for a while and finally decided to purchase this Westinghouse iGen4500DF. It's much quieter than the classic generator's you might be used to and the ability to use either gasoline or propane is great, there's a selector on the control panel to choose fuel type. I intend to use primarily propane to extend the life of the carburetor when the generator sits for extended periods. The control panel will show hours run, voltage, fuel level, power output, etc and has push button start. This is a nice generator and I can't wait to really get into using it.

Love the Portability and Light weight

I bought this to have for Hurricane season in Florida and specifically for my 2 KOI ponds if the power goes out. This is perfect to move to the ponds and will be perfect to give power to both ponds. It is light weight and easy for me to move around. We have 2 other larger Westinghouse generators for the house and absolutely love their product! I would definitely recommend to a family member or friends.

Cool features. Comes with everything you need.

I bought this a month ago and it seems like a very good product. Came with oil and funnel, battery charger for the electric start, and basic tool kit. It powers my camper without a problem. I thought the throttle would drop off more than it does in economy mode but it is fairly quiet

Great Power Supply!

Bought this when the 2021 winter storms canes through. It came in after the storms because I was late in buying it. I'm now prepared for the next ones though. Fired it up and ran a couple appliances and then hooked it up the RV. Ran great! Super quiet and the handles help with extra security. I can chain it down through the carrying handles so nobody comes and steals it in the middle of the night.

As expected

I've only had my unit a few days and generally I'm happy with it. It's quiet, starts easily and does the things it's supposed to do. It's a good looking unit and reasonably well built (see below). However, if you buy one there are a few things you should know. First, if you read online reviews you'll discover a lot of complaints about the automatic choke not working. Westinghouse blames this on delivery drives just kicking the units off the tailgate when they deliver, which is true. That abuse can and usually does cause the automatic choke cable to become disconnected from the control board. It can also cause the starter cable to become disconnected from the control board. Westinghouse could have easily accounted for this problem by spending 5 cents more on longer cables to allow more movement but they chose not to. They've published an inaccurate service bulletin describing how to fix it. Be aware that while Westinghouse may not be aware of all the fasteners they use to attach the housing, but you need to be. The attached marked up service bulletin shows where to look for the additional fasteners that Westinghouse doesn't tell you about. If you don't find them you'll either not be able to complete the repair or will break something in trying. Just look under all the rubber grommets surrounding the engine access panel and you should be able to find them all. Proceed carefully until you don't feel resistance pulling the panel off. Second, and a minor complaint is the engine oil they supply. The initial oil fill instructions clearly state that you should pour the entire contents of the supplied bottle of oil into the engine using the very handy funnel they provide. Unfortunately, the bottle contains far more than the crankcase will hold. Since you don't learn this until you see the oil backing up into the funnel neck, you have a mess on your hands. You must let the oil seep back out of the oil fill port until it gets down to the proper level. So beware if you hate spilling oil in your garage as much as I do. This is another easily avoidable problem, but we always follow the instructions, don't we? Other than those two annoyances I'm pleased with the unit so far and would recommend it to friends.

Well Designed

I've been very pleased with my purchase. I've run it on both gas and propane with no problems. Well-thought out design and plenty of features, easy to move around with the wheels and handle. I like the digital readout, and being able to charge up the battery using the supplied charger.
